    305 Cottonton Road, Pittsview, AL 36871 Approx. 1,736 sq ft | 2 Bedrooms | 1.5 Bathrooms | 14.07 Acres For Sale By Owner – $349,000 Set several hundred feet back from the road, this private 14.07-acre property offers real quiet, usable land, and modern connectivity. A long private driveway leads to a two-story ivy-covered cottage surrounded by open fields, mature woods, and natural springs. It’s the kind of peace that’s becoming hard to find. Inside the home, you don’t hear the road at all. Outside, most days it’s just the wind and the woods. Even so, the location stays practical. Columbus, GA is about 30 minutes away. Auburn, Eufaula, Lake Eufaula, and Opelika are also within easy reach. Fort Benning is roughly 20 minutes away. You get privacy without feeling isolated. The home offers approximately 1,736 square feet with two bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath. It has central heating and air, modern utilities, a solid staircase built along the wall over a reinforced pantry, and a large front porch that looks out over the field. It’s comfortable, simple, and functional. One of the biggest advantages is the 1-gig fiber-optic internet, which is rare for a rural property. It works well for remote work, online business, streaming, or staying connected with family. The land is about half open meadow and half woods. There are multiple natural springs, abundant wildlife, and several good locations for additional buildings. The acreage can support workshops, barns, extra cabins, livestock, or RV pads depending on buyer needs and county guidelines. A 30-amp RV or camper hookup is already in place. Property taxes are low, and there is no HOA. For buyers interested in gardening or homesteading, the property already supports established systems. These include mature fruit trees, berries, herbs, raised beds, greenhouse space, a 1,000-gallon aquaponics system, and composting areas. Everything is working and ready to use, but nothing is required. The land can be enjoyed simply as open acreage if preferred. A turnkey plant-nursery setup can be included. The greenhouse, plant inventory, soil, pots, and growing areas may remain, offering a ready foundation for gardening or small nursery operations. The surrounding area includes many retired military households and long-term residents. It’s a quiet, respectful rural community. Deer and turkey are common, and hunting is strong in the area. A regional craft brewery is located about seven miles away. Shown by appointment only. Buyer agents welcome with negotiated compensation. Seller willing to contribute toward decorating costs or a rate buydown. OPTIONAL SECOND PROPERTY 301 Cottonton Road, Pittsview, AL 36871 Approx. 2,140 sq ft | 4 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 9.89 Acres | Built 2007 Also set hundreds of feet back from the road, this second adjacent property offers strong privacy on 9.89 acres. The 4-bedroom, 2-bath home includes access to nearby river areas for recreation. The land is well suited for extended family living, expanded homesteading, or investment use. Offered at $275,000 individually, or $605,000 when purchased together with 305 Cottonton Road, the combined package provides over 24 acres, two homes, multiple water features, long private driveways, and flexible multi-use potential.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What we’ve loved most about this home is the life our family was able to live here. Set far back from the road and surrounded by open land and woods, it gave our kids the freedom to grow up exploring safely. Their days were spent catching frogs at the springs, climbing trees, walking the trails, and discovering the natural world in a way that’s become rare today. We planted fruit trees, berries, herbs, and gardens with them in mind. Watching them pick pears and figs straight from the branches, snack on berries in the field, and pull vegetables from the soil are memories we’ll always be grateful for. Over the years, the land produced more food than we could ever use, and sharing it with friends and neighbors became part of the joy of living here. Wildlife has been part of everyday life. Deer move through the fields at sunrise, owls call at night, and the woods are always alive with birds and small animals. Even while working from home, we were never far from nature. Morning coffee on the porch, stepping outside during breaks, and watching the seasons change became part of our daily rhythm. Above all, we love the peace. Inside the home, you don’t hear the road at all. Outside, it’s mostly wind and woods. Yet the property is still close to Columbus, Auburn, Eufaula, and Fort Benning, making everyday life convenient without losing the feeling of being in your own private world. It’s been a rare place where a family can grow, work, explore, and live freely, and that’s what has made this home so special to us.
